Since I drove off the lot with my Yamaha FZ FI V3 its been an interesting journey to say the least. Boasting a 149cc engine that delivers a power of 12.4 PS and a torque of 13.6 Nm it has enough pep to keep daily commutes lively and fun. The bike fuel efficiency a commendable 45 kmpl as claimed by Yamaha means fewer stops at the gas station which is always a plus in India where fuel prices can be unpredictable. After clocking several kilometers the seat comfort started becoming a bit of an issue on longer rides.

Fz is best in category because
Fz is best in category because it have very refined engine and suspension are very good in indian roads, It feels very comfort.Best thing is it comes with fi engine and its mileage is awasome approx 50 to 55 kmpl.It looks so agressive and handling is very good in city or highways, If you go beyond economy mode then sometimes it feels little vibration.After sale service is also very good because we find yamaha showroom and service centre in every city, Parts are also available in service centre.Headlight throw is also very good as compared to other segmentfeels very smooth.I think you should go for fzs fi version 3.

Good mileage
4.2
It is bigger than its competitors and is the biggest bike in its segment with great build quality but the design is not very good.It is a good performer and fuel efficient and gives perfect riding and handling balance but bad headlight quality.The brakes are amazing and the engine is refined and powerful but with an underpowered engine.It is very easy to ride and gives good mileage and the claimed mileage is around 45 kmpl.It provides new features and technology and gives brilliant mid-range performance.

FZ-FI Version 3.0 Negatives Points: Not so peppy engine, Fit and finish isn’t as good
Zigwheels Expert's Conclusion : The Yamaha FZ ticks all the right boxes when it comes to a muscular yet comfortable commuter. If you’re okay with dull performance as long as it delivers brilliantly on frugality and reliability, look no further. But there are more exciting, more affordable, and more feature-packed options out there.

Overall this a great bike
Overall at the time when I purchased it on 30th May 2022, it was a value for the money kind. But after that when Yamaha increased the price day by day it doesn't feel like the proper value-for-money product. Now comes to build quality, the finishing isn't good (like the cut where they place the Bluetooth device that's like so rough it feels like some kid has done the job), and the tank joints feel flimsy. About riding comfort, I'd say the rider seat is pretty much comfortable for short and long rides but the pillion seat could have been better. About mileage, I have got 50-53+ kmpl combined with high road and bad city traffic, which is a pretty good number. And even when on a high road I mostly ride at like above 80+ mph speed which speed is out of its 'eco' category, So no complaint with the mileage. About performance 12 bhp mostly feels pretty low but that's okay I guess as we can't do anything about that. But the gearbox is something I don't like at all mainly between 1st and 2nd gear there's a huge power gap. Also when downshifting from 2nd to 1st gear it feels like something will break inside. Have checked with the service center they mentioned there's no problem with my bike which means all these models are like same weird. About servicing the service center is pretty clean and the mechanics are also good but a few staff is too weird here. I have completed 3 services to change engine oil all the time. The first 2 services were costly, Both coats were more than 1.1k. For the 3rd service, it became lower to 614/- as I denied to do chain cleaning, polishing, and fine cleaning. Chain cleaning can be self which costs far less than the service center at least. That's pretty much it, Overall if someone is buying his first bike like me then it will not disappoint in terms of reliability, and looks(for looks I have the black and golden combination deluxe version and noticed that many people look back too so what the bike is. Yes, There's also another factor for me that I have installed a crash guard which makes the bike looks more aggressive) and mileage. But if someone is upgrading from another bike to this then it won't feel much of a difference.
